It is with great pride that we are now able to introduce our first luxury yarn made from soft and scratch free baby alpaca - spun locally in Peru.

This is a fingering weight yarn suitable for needle size 2,5 - 3,5 mm, that is extremely soft and warmer than wool because of the hollow fibres. If you are hypersensitive to wool, this alpaca yarn is a nice alternative. You get a meterage of 165 metres in each of the gorgeous 50 gram balls.

Soft Alpaca is a little heavier than a normal wool and has a lovely drape to it. For this reason it is also perfectly suited for tops, cardigans, jumpers, childrens clothing, scarves, shawls, hats - everything you can dream of.

For years, alpacas have been World renowned and sought after for their soft, thick, warm and slightly curly fur which makes them easily adaptable to the wild weather conditions of South America, counting sun, wind, heat, rain and freezing cold. The alpaca fibre is known for being extremely soft and very flexible.

An adventure awaits you with this new yarn and we cannot wait to send some your way.

I bought this product to crochet a scarf. I read it was soft, but when you touch it....wow! It is much softer and not itchy. The colors are amazingly beautiful and easy to crochet with.
Very happy with the yarn!:)

I bought this yarn to make my daughter a poncho to wear at work for winter. It is so amazingly soft and the colour is perfect (Soft Grey). I can’t wait to start knitting :)
